You cannot use ExtJS 4.1.1 or ExtJS 4.1.2 ([ERROR] Failed to determine framework name. Please ensure this command was issues from either a framework or application directory). The version must be either 4.1.1a or 4.1.2a.

Forget about SDK Tools. Pretend you've never heard of it. When you see the word SDK in docs, it is simply the contents of extjs.4.***.zip. Nothing else. No tools.

******************************Well apparently I was confused with the terms "SDK" and "SDK Tools". The SDK mentioned in docs is just the package file that contains extjs sources and relevant files, I guess.

I am glad there was success at the end, but sorry for the confusion. I have updated the first post on this thread accordingly to help others avoid the same issue.

Thanks for taking a look. Now that you are past that, any initial thoughts?

Well, the project I'm currently working on is based on v4.1.1 so I need to test and upgrade to 4.1.1a (apparently there are significant changes in css files) first in order to examine the tool completely. However, even the idea of creating an empty project with all required resources by just a single command is amazing.

Another thing I really liked is the "integrated soul of a compiler". For example, the extra trailing commas in an object initializer gives runtime errors in IE7/IE6. Normally it could only be detected at runtime, (After packaging and deployment, generally when the project is published) and that sucks. However Sencha Cmd catches all these kinds of errors. That's a great improvement for me

By the way, sencha generate model command puts the fields in a config object (see code below). Is it intentional / a preferred approach?
